Male Kids lose weight faster than adults!? -

Is this true? Also, I am 16 and very obese because of many emotional things that have happened.....I am currently at 260...Will I lose weight by August if I stick to my diet and workout all summer? Today is May 13, 2008 and I am curious to lose alot of weight by August 17th, 2008.

You can lose faster than an adult. The younger you are, the higher your metabolism, and as a 16-year-old male you are probably still growing, so you will grow into your new weight.Just make sure that your diet is a healthy one with plenty of veggies and whole foods.

generally yes because of higher testosterone levels in teens. test levels begin to decline around age 25 unless the individual gets regular exercise of sufficient intensity. the greater the level of circulating androgens in the blood the higher the resting metabolic rate. this is why male teens lose weight faster than adults and why men lose weight faster then women as we produce 10x the amount of testosterone that they do on average.but it really depends on how much body fat you have to lose.

If you truly stick to a balanced, healthy diet and follow an appropriate workout regime, you d be surprised at how much weight you can lose. But, try to keep it up for the rest of your life, and not just giving up in August! Keeping a healthy eating and exercise regularly, you ll lose weight and dramatically increase your life span!

I don t know what your diet and workouts are, but if you are eating right, a variety of whole foods, high protein and medium calories, and exercising regularly a reasonable expectation could be to lose about 2 pounds a week. It will take time but if you stick with it you should succeed.

If you work hard enough you should be able to get down to 200 by august, I wouldn t really expect to lose more then that.

ya it s true because your metabolism is faster then an adult.
